⇑Why choose the Space (Spatial Design) specialisation at SWPS University?

Dlaczego warto studiować na Uniwersytecie SWPS

Why study it:

Programme: teachers who know buildings and exhibitions
Specialisation: places for people
Labs: building and digital workshops

Space (Spatial Design) turns design towards places rather than single objects. It is one of three paths you can follow on the Design degree at SWPS University after your first year.

Programme: teachers who know buildings and exhibitions

Your lecturers bring knowledge that suits spatial work: the history of interior design and its trends, mechanics and construction fundamentals, and the design and production of exhibitions. Others teach philosophy, psychology and parametric design, so you look at a place from the side of both structure and people.

Specialisation: places for people

Space focuses on designing:

short-lived architecture, such as pavilions
interiors
public spaces
venues where people work, enjoy culture or relax

Labs: building and digital workshops

The woodworking and metal workshops let you work with real materials, and each is led by a dedicated head.

On the digital side you have the digital workshop, the KUKA robotics workshop, the computer lab and the AI Open Lab.

Did you know? One of the assistants in the digital workshop studied architecture and urban planning and describes himself as a huge fan of Lego.

⇑Definitions and quotes

Design

Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object, system or measurable human interaction (as in architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams, and sewing patterns). Design has different connotations in different fields (see design disciplines below). In some cases, the direct construction of an object (as in pottery, engineering, management, coding, and graphic design) is also considered to use design thinking.

Wikipedia

Space

Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction. Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime. The concept of space is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe. However, disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework.

Wikipedia

Space

I have sat by night beside a cold lake
And touched things smoother than moonlight on still water,
But the moon on this cloud sea is not human,
And here is no shore, no intimacy,
Only the start of space, the road to suns.

F. R. Scott, Trans Canada

Space

Space can be mapped and crossed and occupied without definable limit; but it can never be conquered. When our race has reached its ultimate achievements, and the stars themselves are scattered no more widely than the seed of Adam, even then we shall still be like ants crawling on the face of the Earth. The ants have covered the world, but have they conquered it — for what do their countless colonies know of it, or of each other?

Arthur C. Clarke, We'll Never Conquer Space (1960)

Space

Since, in the long run, every planetary society will be endangered by impacts from space, every surviving civilization is obliged to become spacefaring--not because of exploratory or romantic zeal, but for the most practical reason imaginable: staying alive.

Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space (1994)
